scale_x_gnuplot {ggnuplot}

gnuplot-like (continuous) axes for ggplot2

Description

These functions set up gnuplot-like secondary axes. They also try to choose pretty breaks/ticks for continuous data. Your mileage with the breaks/ticks may vary, so be sure to try different settings.

Usage

scale_x_gnuplot(breaks = gnubreaks(), sec.axis = gnuaxis(), ...)
scale_y_gnuplot(breaks = gnubreaks(), sec.axis = gnuaxis(), ...)
gnubreaks(n = 5, padding = 0.1)

Arguments

breaks

One of:

• NULL for no breaks

• waiver() for the default breaks computed by the transformation object

• A numeric vector of positions

• A function that takes the limits as input and returns breaks as output (e.g., a function returned by scales::extended_breaks())

sec.axis

sec_axis() is used to specify a secondary axis.

...

Other arguments passed on to ⁠scale_(x|y)_continuous()⁠

n

The number of breaks/ticks to return

padding

The amount of space between the outermost breaks/ticks and the axis limits relative to the axis range. A number between 0 and 0.5.
